I spent a lot of time researching the religious right in the early 90s. Palin is one of many people the religious right who ran for school boards and other local pubic positions across the country. These people got their grass roots training in churches under the plan written by Ralph Reed for the Christian Coalition. They took over school boards across the country. In many communities when parents became aware of their agenda to insert their particular Christian beliefs into the public school system, parents got active and replaced these people. This is how the Christian right, now called social conservatives, have been able to take over the republican party and move their people up into higher offices and insert their Christian agenda into public policy at all levels of government. They made great advances under Bush. If Palin becomes VP, then president, she will help turn our Democracy into a nasty Christian theocracy. Her Christian "World View" will drive our international policy.
Her 16th century social beleifs will drive our domestic civl liberty policies. Se is no feminist she is a token for the religious right.
